Hi Everyone.
I bought my 67 mustang conv. about a year ago because I thought it would be a neat hobby. I have really enjoyed driving the car and working on it. I think I have learned a little about cars in the past year but nothing really technical. I am embarrassed to say it but I only have 2 real sources of information. I ask questions in this forum and then do a google image search so that I can see what parts you guys are talking about. I would like to spend $2,500 on my mustang. But, I dont think I have acquired enough knowledge in the past year to make an intelligent decision on the matter. I know that amount of money cant come near paying for everything that I would like to do the the car. But, how could the money be best spent. I realize this is a very objective question that depends greatly on what I want in a car. So below is a very brief description of the long term end results that I would like to achieve. I do not plan on selling the car.
1. A daily driver.
2. Good practical power. I would like optimal performance. Which is to say that I would like to get the most out of my engine while keeping it reliable. I took a look at "package A" at fordsix parts. That sounds like a possibility?? Clifford headers???
3. Very quiet
4. 5 speed transmission that changes smoothly.
5. Slight aggressive stance.
6. Factory air conditioning(not the large unit beneath the dash)
7. No shaking or rattling.
8. Repair minor cowl leak.
9. Improved handling.
Looking over what I just wrote it sounds like I am looking for a road map of sorts. At any rate, I honestly appreciate any advice, ideas or opinions that you have to offer. I also appreciate your patients with these "mustang 101" questions.
Regards
Mark
